A metodologia consistiu no emprego de um organocatalisador, no caso (+/-)ACS, que em apenas 7 mol% conduziu aos produtos de Michael em bons rendimentos (até 80%) e em alto controle da régio- e diastereosseletividade (apenas aduto de adição 1,4 e com rd > 20:1). Vários derivados azalactônicos e diversas enonas toleraram as condições dereação otimizadas, como por exemplo, azalactona contendo grupo volumoso forneceu o aduto de Michael em perfeito controle da estereoquímica relativa. Um ciclo catalítico para esta transformação foi proposto onde um intermediário par iônico seria responsável pela transferência de quiralidade, justificando aestereoquímica observada na etapa de formação de ligação C-C. Ressaltamos que a estereoquímica relativa foi determinada de forma inequívoca por cristalografia de raiosX. Os resultados obtidos neste trabalho, pelo nosso conhecimento, consistem noprimeiro exemplo onde um ácido de Brønsted catalisa uma reação de dessimetrizaçãoaltamente régio- e diastereosseletiva entre um derivado azalactônico e DBA. Ainda, além da formação de uma nova ligação σ C-C, dois centros estereogênicos estão sendo gerados e controlados, sendo um deles um centro não hidrogenado. / In this work the diastereoseletive synthesis of Michael adducts from azlactones andenones catalyzed by a Brønsted acid is presented. By using only 7 mol% of an organocatalyst, (+/-)-CSA, the corresponding Michael adducts were obtained in good yields (with up to 80%) and with high control of both regio- and diastereoselectivity (only 1,4 addition product was detected and with > 20:1 dr). Various azlactones and enones were well tolerated. For example, a steric bulk azlactone derivative gave the corresponding Michael adduct in perfect control of the relative stereochemistry. Based on the observed stereochemistry, a catalytic cycle for this transformationwas then proposed, in which an ion-pairing intermediate would be responsible for the chirality transfer in the new C-C bond formation. It is important mention that the relative stereochemistry was unambiguous determined by X-ray crystallography. To the best of our knowledge this constitutes the first reported diastereoselective dessymetrization of DBA with azlactones catalyzed by a Brønsted acid. Besides the new C-C bond formation, two consecutive stereogenic centers are created, one of them a quaternary center.

In this thesis, I was paid to the preparation of enantiomerically and diastereomerically pure spiro compounds using asymmetric organocatalysis.

Au cours de cette thèse, nous avons rapporté que la combinaison unique de l'hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP), utilisé comme solvant, et des conditions hyperbares (10-15 kbar) permet une addition sans précédent de nucléophiles-1,4 pauvres, comme les amines aromatiques, sur des récepteurs Michael encombrés, sans promoteur externe. De plus, l'addition d'hétéro-Michael d'anilines fonctionnellement substituées sur des esters insaturés-α,β est définie par la différence d'acidité entre le solvant et l'amine. La réaction avec des anilines plus basiques se déroule facilement dans le méthanol. En revanche, les solvants protiques très polaires comme les alcools fluorés (HFIP et TFE) favorisent l'addition d'aza-Michael de nucléophiles plus faibles. Enfin, une méthode verte et sans catalyseur de construction de nouveaux dérivés d'acides aminés contenant des fragments d'adamantane et d'aziridine a été développée. Et il est prouvé que la réaction d'aza-Michael initie la formation de l’hétérocycle. / Along this PhD work, we have reported that the unique combination of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP), employed as solvent, and hyperbaric conditions (10-15 kbar) allows unprecedented 1,4-addition of poor nucleophiles such as aromatic amines onto sluggish (cumbersome) Michael acceptors without any promoter nor work-up. Moreover, The hetero-Michael addition of functionally substituted anilines to α,β-unsaturated esters is significantly defined by the difference of acidity between the solvent and the amine. Reaction with more basic anilines proceeds smoothly in methanol. In contrast, very polar protic solvent such as fluorinated alcohols (HFIP and TFE) favor the aza-Michael addition of more weak nucleophiles. Finally, green and catalyst-free method of new amino acid derivatives construction containing adamantane and aziridine fragments was developed. And it is proved that aza-Michael reaction initiates the formation of heterocycle.

Phosphonium ions readily compare to ammonium ions in regards to their aggregate characteristics, thermal stability, and antibacterial activity. Ionic aggregation in phosphonium-based polymers provides thermoreversible crosslinks, ideal for reversible self-assembly, self-healing, and smart response. In polymers, these ionic functionalities aggregate, providing improved moduli, and altering the size and structure of ionic aggregates regulates polymer melt processability. This dissertation highlights phosphonium-based chemistry for the synthesis of novel step-growth ionomers and structure-property relationships in ionic polymers. The synthesis of phosphonium endcapping reagents for melt polyester reactions afforded a thermally stable ionic functionality that controlled molecular weight. Weak association was present with phosphonium ions at low ion concentrations below 7.7 mole %. The use of novel ionic bisacetoacetate monomers in the formation of networks from Michael addition reactions led to the synthesis of ionic networks with increased and broadened glass transitions and improved tensile stresses at break and strains at break compared to those in the non-ionic networks. The first electrospun fibers from Michael addition crosslinking reactions are reported, and equilibrium ionic liquid uptake experimental results indicated that ionic functional networks absorb close to three times the amount of ionic liquid as non-ionic, poly(ethylene glycol)-based films. Chain-extending polyurethanes with a phosphonium diol and subsequently varying the hard segment content led to changes in ionic aggregation, crystallinity, and thermal transitions in the polymers. Additionally, novel phosphonium-based methacrylate monomers incorporated into diblock copolymers with styrene exhibited microphase separation. Overall, the inclusion of phosphonium ions pendant to or in the main chain of various types of polymers led to changes in morphology, improved tensile properties, enhanced moduli, broadened transitions, changes in crystalline melting points, changes in solubility, and appearance of ionic aggregation. / Ph.

The present doctoral thesis focused mainly on the use of α-imino esters in 1,4-conjugated addition reactions (Michael-type additions) which have been optimized using phosphines acting as organocatalysts. On the other hand, α-imino esters have been evaluated in heterogeneous systems functionalizing carbonaceous matrices through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions and their subsequent application in catalysis. Chapter 1 describes a new approach for the preparation of glutamates and pyroglutamates surrogates without the use of bases, through Michael-type addition reactions between different imino esters and conjugated alkenes in the presence of a phosphine that acts as an organocatalyst. Chapter 2 reports the results obtained from the functionalization of single-walled nanotubes (SWCNT) with different imino esters through the microwave-assisted 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction; the pyrrolidine rings-functionalized material was characterized by using several techniques and subsequently the synthesis of a heterogeneous catalyst using an iridium complex was afforded. This supported catalyst was evaluated, as a proof of concept, in the hydrogen-transfer reaction of acetophenone to yield 1-phenyletanol. In Chapter 3 the covalent functionalization of multilayer graphene (MLG) via microwave-assisted 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with azomethine ylides generated by thermal 1,2-prototropy from various imino esters is described. In particular, this strategy allows to anchor an imino ester containing a 2,2’-bipyridine unit in order to obtain a functionalized material capable of assembling a ruthenium atom to achieve a heterogeneous supported complex. This new catalyst was tested, as a proof of concept, in the photocatalytic aerobic oxidative hydroxylation reaction of 4-methoxyphenylboronic acid. / The present work has been possible thanks to the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (project RED2018-102387-T) the Spanish Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad, Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI) (MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033) and Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER, EU) (projects CTQ2017-82935-P, PID2019-107268GB-I00 and PID2021-123079OB-I00), the Generalitat Valenciana (IDIFEDER/2021/013, GVACOVID19/2021/079 and CIDEGENT/2020/058), Medalchemy S.

L'objectif de ce travail était d'accéder au squelette des alcaloïdes de type Aspidosperma et Strychnos à partir d'arylcyclohexa-2,5-diènes. Ces derniers sont d'abord synthétisés par réaction de Birch alkylante, puis ont été désymétrisés dans un premier temps par des réactions de Michael. Cette réaction fournit la cétone de Büchi, le noyau tétracyclique des alcaloïdes Aspidosperma en seulement en 6 étapes et un rendement global de 17%. Dans un second temps, la réaction d'amination oxydante catalysée par des métaux (Pd, Cu) a été développée. Cette réaction a permis un accès rapide au squelette pentacyclique d’aza-aspidospermanes et au squelette tétracycliques des alcaloïdes de type Strychnos. En parallèle, nous avons décrit une approche vers le squelette pentacyclique de la mossambine et la strychnine. / The aim of this work was to access the skeleton of the Aspidosperma and the Strychnos alkaloids using arylcyclohexa-2,5-dienes as common synthetic precursors. Initially, these arylcyclohexadienes were synthesized through Birch reductive alkylation reactions. The desymmetrization of these cyclohexadienes was developed via the Michael addition reaction, providing the Büchi ketone, the tetracyclic core of Aspidosperma alkaloids, in only 6 steps and 17% overall yield. On the other hand, we described the oxidative amination reaction catalyzed by metals (Pd, Cu). The palladium oxidative amination reaction allowed a fast access to the pentacyclic framework of aza-aspidospermanes and the tetracyclic framework of the strychnos. In parallel, we have described an approach toward the pentacyclic skeleton of mossambine and strychnine.

This thesis deals with the preparation of enantiomerically and diastereomerically pure spirocompounds using asymmetric organocatalysis. The first part is focused on the enantioselective synthesis of spirocompounds by organocatalytic reaction of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with sulfur heterocyclic compounds catalysed with secondary amines. It is a domino Michael/Michael/aldol reaction using iminium and enamine activation. The second part is focused on the subsequent transformation of the prepared spirocompounds.

Au cours de ce travail, nous nous sommes intéressés à explorer le potentiel d’une réaction multicomposés initiée par une addition de Michael conduisant à des dérivés de 2,6-DABCO. Dans ce contexte, nous avons tout d’abord étudié l’étendue de la réaction en modifiant les différents partenaires et paramètres réactionnels. Dans le but de rendre ce procédé plus éco-compatible, l’utilisation de liquides ioniques recyclables a aussi été étudié. Dans certains cas, les liquides ioniques ont permis de s’affranchir du solvant organique toxique et du catalyseur hétérogène de la réaction. Enfin, afin de mettre en œuvre une synthèse multicomposés énantiosélective de 2,6-DABCO, nous avons été amenés à développer une nouvelle méthodologie d’addition de Michael énantiosélective organocatalysée de béta-cétoamides sur des dérivés carbonylés alpha,béta-insaturés. Ainsi, des adduits comportant un centre stéréogène quaternaire entièrement carboné ont pu être obtenus avec de bons rendements et des excès énantiomériques qui atteignent 99%. Une étude sur la réactivité de ces adduits nous a permis d’accéder à différentes familles de composés poly(hétéro)cycliques optiquement actifs d’un grand intérêt synthétique. / In this work, we explored the potential of a Michael addition-initiated multicomponent reaction leading to 2,6-DABCO derivatives. In this context, we first studied the scope of the reaction by changing the partners and the parameters of the reaction. In view of making the process more eco-friendly, the use of ionic liquids was also investigated and found that in some cases, the ionic liquids could replace the toxic organic solvent and the heterogeneous catalyst of the reaction. Finally, the implementation of an enantioselective multicomponent synthesis of 2,6-DABCO led us to develop a new methodology of an organocatalytic enantioselective Michael addition of beta-ketoamides to alpha, beta-unsaturated carbonyls. In this way, adducts containing an all-carbon quaternary stereocenter were obtained in good yields and high to excellent enantiomeric excesses (up to 99%). The study of the reactivity of these adducts allowed the access to different families of optically active poly(hetero)cyclic compounds of high synthetic interest.

Au cours de ces travaux, nous nous sommes intéressés au développement de nouvelles transformations combinant des outils modernes de la synthèse organique que sont les MBFT's (Multiple Bond-Forming Transformations) et l'organocatalyse et impliquant la réactivité des nitroalcènes. Nous avons dans un premier temps élaboré une réaction consécutive hautement stéréosélective Michael – Hétérocyclisation [3+2] – Fragmentation. Au cours de ce processus, deux liaisons C–C, une liaison C–O et un cycle sont formés afin de former des cyclopentanoximes optiquement actifs portant jusqu'à trois centres stéréogènes pouvant être convertis en hydroxylamines ou en indoles. Nous avons ensuite exploité le potentiel pro-nucléophile des composés 1,2-dicarbonylés lors de l'élaboration des premières additions de Michael organocatalysées diastéréo- et énantiosélectives de 1,2-cétoesters et de 1,2-cétoamides sur des nitrooléfines. Les adduits obtenus constituent des plateformes synthétiques vers la construction de carbo- et d'hétérocycles à cinq et six chaînons possédant une large diversité fonctionnelle. Ces travaux ont conduit au développement d'une transformation domino impliquant divers composés 1,2-dicarbonylés et nitroalcènes halogénés afin d'accéder de manière rapide et efficace à des 2-carbonyl- et 2-phosphorylfuranes dont les voies de synthèse sont peu courantes dans la littérature. Les premiers résultats très encourageants quant à l'obtention de furanes atropoisomères ouvrent les portes à une version asymétrique de cette méthodologie. / This work focused on the development of novel transformations combining MBFT's and organocatalysis, the latest powerful tools of organic synthesis, and involving the reactivity of nitroalkenes. We first developed a highly stereoselective consecutive Michael – [3+2] Heterocyclisation – Fragmentation reaction where two C–C bonds, one C–O bond and a cycle are formed to make optically active cyclopentanoximes bearing up to three stereocenters. These products can be converted into hydroxylamines or indoles. We then exploited the nucleophilic potential of 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds in the design of the first organocatalyzed diastereo- and enantioselective Michael additions of 1,2-ketoamides and 1,2-ketoesters onto nitroalkenes. The corresponding adducts are valuable synthetic platforms towards the synthesis of five- and six-membered carbo- and heterocycles with wide functional variety. This work led to the development of a domino transformation involving 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds and halogenated nitroolefines to efficiently access 2-carbonyl- and 2-phosphorylfuranes whose reported synthetic pathways remain rare. The first encouraging trials carried out to make atropisomers enable a potential asymmetric version of this methodology.
